After years of delay, the construction of an international swimming pool in Yemmekere is finally reaching its final stages, with a possibility of opening soon.
The planning had started in 2014, following a foreword written by Abhayachandra, the then Sports Minister, for the construction of a swimming pool in the area.
Previously, athletes training for swimming competitions had to rely on the swimming pool near Ladyhill, owned by the Mangalore City corporation, which proved to be inconvenient. However, the construction of the Yemmekere swimming pool faced opposition from locals due to the presence of a playground in the area.
Despite the initial hurdles, the construction work has progressed under the Smart City project, costing Rs 24.94 crore. The swimming pool is now well-equipped and Smart City Limited aims to complete the work by the end of March. If successful, the long-awaited facility will be made available for public use.
The new international swimming pool in Yemmekere is expected to attract athletes from all over the world, providing them with a state-of-the-art facility for training and competitions. It will also serve as a significant addition to the area’s sports infrastructure, benefiting local residents and visitors alike.
